Beaver Creek Nudist Ranch

Date Placed: September 1, 2012

Planters: GreenJello and Johnny Lingo

Wait, what??? There's a nudist ranch in Utah?!!!

Ok, not really. :) It's a long-standing joke, but it's worth getting a photo in front of at least once in your lifetime.

Directions: Driving up the Mirror Lake Highway, just outside the city limits of Kamas, take a right on Nudist Road (not quite 4 miles from the Chevron). Once you've had a fun laugh, find a second one under the tree to the right of the sign.

Hello From Rhode Island!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is part of the "Hello From The United States!" series of boxes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Road Island Diner is a fun trip back to the 40's, complete with jukebox music and servers with names you're used to seeing on great-grannies. :) Go for a visit... you won't be disappointed.

Directions: Starting from the knife and fork, look to the line of rocks at the edge of the parking lot. You are interested in the fifth one down from the end.

Notes: Please be ever so careful to replace the rock as you found it. Because this is a landscaped area at the edge of a parking lot, it can easily be found and discarded as trash. Make the rock look as natural in that place as it did when you arrived, please.

Mmmm... Doughnuts!

The next time you're driving through Kamas, be sure to stop at the Chevron on the corner of Center and Main. There, you will find a delicious array of freshly made doughnuts and treats. A Chevron station may be an odd place to find a bakery, but this particular gas station is famous for excellent doughnuts, particularly their incredible apple fritters. They are about the size of a dinner plate-- a really fluffy dinner plate.

No, I'm not exaggerating. And they're bigger on weekends than weekdays, too!

Directions: Get yourself to Kamas, whichever way suits your fancy. Once there, it's pretty easy to find the Chevron. It's not exactly a huge town. :)

After you pick out your treats, look east behind the gas station. You will see a very large apple tree against the back fence. Head on over, going around to the left side of the tree. Underneath the branches, near to the trunk, you will find a large rock with some smaller rocks in front of it. Move the smaller rocks, and the box will be revealed.

Note: They sell out of their apple fritters very quickly in the mornings, especially on weekends. If you call ahead the morning you're heading up there (435.783.4375‎), they will save one for you.
